Love the lamp. Have you ever gone to Leesha Lee on Falls Rd.? She has exquisite Asian vases - I had a gorgeous lamp made there years ago (many, many years ago). Picked out the vase, base, shade, final - everything - and they made the lamp.

Thank you for the recommendation on the better sweater. Mine just arrived and it is mahvelous dahling. A definite upgrade over my old fleece. You and your blog continue to be amazing. Looking forward to running into you soon.

Thoughts

I simply adore the American flag and I am constantly inspired by my surroundings. I love wearing anything with ruffles. I have a special place in my heart for animals and the water. I cherish photography and sculpture. I believe in fate. Summer is my favorite time of year. I like smelling cinnamon buns. I can’t live without back-rubs, online shopping, heating blankets, pink nail polish, plaid and hydrangeas. I get excited before a storm. There should be more random acts of kindness. I love antiques and decorating. I mostly wear flats. Anything seersucker is adorable. I will never get sick of eating tomato mozzarella. The best thing about the beach is outdoor showers and eating candy. All pools should be heated. -EAS
